... I ... the big doubly him self wall last but what is and on that I'll Ultrabook will have that I'm all ... right have right now on Digits good afternoon and welcome I'm Simon Constable lovely Lauren Goode Tony meantime show thank you for the next year ... more to rush out to West Coast now because just a vessel Arrow is that waiting at the Apple shareholder meeting on the one question on everybody's mind is was my dividends ... I found ... I just got some ... well that's the question right was my dividends ... the company out in our ... I'm not sure if the city on the on the agenda today and the way shareholders are ... at watching and few of the day that Daniel meeting that ... the stop the needs and that is not new proposals are out on the election of directors disclosures are out conflict of interest political contributions so ... that's the part that we've been hearing about at ... the bit about it not been set of protesters milling about at what talking ... about acne condition has been a big topic in the news for the company many ... probably that I'm not that ... I guess we'll find out that one thing that matters ... well yes and and the dividend question it's a hundred ... billion dollars basically on their balance sheet they want enough of when they can get some of that back and start to ... exist at the end of last month since Apple executives say that they were considering ... lean ... he added to that now to be a big change from the company has done what was on the iPad app I mean the thought that that that I'm in and actively blogging acts I went to do with their cash ... that they're not religious about holding it at that that they are pretty Eilat that I'd like to see something ... I Weaver played a ... I'm ... liking the things that that is an open to things like dividends and buybacks have ... but the company at that that that they need to know just get YouTube you know Apple as well as anyone knows it has now signed up on what is the mood in that among the employee see you you you are seeing and talking to this is post Steve Jobs's than anything change ... yet there is that ... the lots has changed op but I guess that's all things have said that it cannot answer but ... on there there is a lot of talk about doing things differently ... last week Apple had taken out at the new operating system instead of having a big if that's ... not make retrieves the reported to have a different strategy ... a rather well in that hour day ... I caught up with Phil Schiller earlier you have ... read sparking the copy he thought that was very successful it was ... and was glad that they were trying to keep things on that threat ... at that letter examples that that have been at the me today is pretty official everyone's getting and guide the Security ... on ... not not much of the way of telling Soapbox ... was the meeting that stuff starting right now the interesting to see if it there on that circuit executives that the difference now ... I just I was expected that there would be some protesters there from different activist groups and consumer watchdog groups ... on a lot of this attention is on Apple right now the head of the accident the perceived treatment ... of workers at the pricing in China ... of what ... happens when its response to all of that attention that's been on accompanying ... him ... on Apple's continued is that Betty cares alot about the if you feel there has been proactive in ... identifying the old rules are working with the highest have ... added a tentative one or not that ... that ... that consist ever prayed in recent years becoming getting a little bit louder about ... I they are doing things like ... I'm stuck they buildings and factories outside audits but join a Labor Association and that ... recent Mott's in recent weeks the bed and so on it is I ... you know what to say it with a little more attention on it ... did not having jet near believes that he cares about this issue you and ... I've taken a leadership or all of the question is ... now with that and not just the beginning of our twenty shareholders want him to name ... but I've ever wanted ... getting anything so I'm you know I I don't think we're a tendency to play now and I'm just gone outside audit that was a radical move from for manufacturing company aam ... he's still playing out as a good thing to have gone up with several dozen with with customers ... I think so I mean I think people yet Apple is the first tech company to join the Fair Labor Association out ... add to that you know they've got recognition for that ... on a lot of shareholders that if some of them I spoke with said ... it seems no resembles loves the sound that on just about possible that that was just you the flare up at the Apple shareholder of men in California and you can see now ... and some will be having a much more reports on back on the beest on come as we get the news information thank you ... Jessica ... well T Mobile the pub for ... nearly ten ... billion dollars into the four G LTE network lot more on that after the break ... with back with more Digits aunt WS J live I'm Simon Constable and just what we often think of him self wall last but anything that weighed on the Dow Ultrabooks the new one anyway any Johns's now from Washington DC ... why else ... sat on the docks that but some we can still say you ... don't look compact rights of small ... well I'd I first want to say that Apple could take that hundred billion by everyone and I've had time I think that with all the ... time ... that's where the pastor of this rather have the I pad ... instead of ... Icahn a nine penalty minutes yet well I it's quite a lot of money a hundred million boxes on that so I assume before we can't your site do you think they should give some of its money that we we when you invest in H O T online investing ... in someone to manage cash you can put that in the bank may do a fine job of it and show it ... should maybe giving the money back ... I you know what it is really inching question I'm not an investment expert and I don't own any tech stocks and I don't own any Apple stock but ... I will say that ... that it ... depends whether what they do with it I mean ... if the user to make strategic acquisitions that ... pushed the business forward and push technology toward ... I've that might be a I'm a big thing for everyone customers shareholders employees ... and they are have to do just one thing right the King ... do we give in and make good ... use Mac positions so ... I think a beach to see what happens on the twenty oh I have a lot ... OK now let's get to DEL DEL hell DEL tell tell for ... this this is really interesting you know ... I've ... before Steve Jobs survived Apple Michael Dell was once asked ... what ... would he do if you were in the in the shoes of the people running Apple he said ... I close it and give the money back to the shareholders ... that was a long time ago ... market caps of change would it be read Dell and Apple ... and Dell of Dell is struggling the last years few ... of the team at consumer business to business graphics and some some ... half fightback enterprises ... hope that they're making another Porsche for consumers ... and they have brought out their first Ultrabook ... and am I I'd ... like a lot about it aam ... it has one that really interesting twist and ... and you know all these Ultrabooks are thin and light and they start up quickly and EU solid-state drives ... and Orwall ... et in the tradition of the MacBook Air which came out in two thousand ate the apple for a ... Apple care ... of but Dell has done something slightly different in this one this is called the XPS thirteen ... they've taken ... up an Ultrabook with a thirteen screen ... and it shrunk in ... the lane and when ... to a point where it actually looks a little more like it should be eleven or twelve inch screen ... and it's noticeably smaller ... Lee in length and width than ... most of its CommVault any of its competitors I've seen yet it does have ... the full thirteen inch screen and a great keyboard ... now all ... this ... in here and didn't have ... a deal breaker did they had a deal breaker ... a tablet this ... what could be a deal breaker for a lot of people ... you know I've been doing the battery standard battery test ... I warrants for ... I don't know Lawrence ensure probably in middle school I have no idea ... I mean doing the same test on every ... lap top and I'm so it's very consistent ... and ... on this duo XPS thirteen turn been ... up up up up quite a week ... and a battery test ... result in in in my knee and testing ... it lasted ... I ... think ... you know ... under four hours ... and that was about an hour less than let's say the Lenovo Ultrabook ... joint tested few months ago and about two hours less than the Mac MacBook Air ... now normally you she'll do better than in mine ... very ... harsh tests ... but I don't think you'd ... be given might test my guess is you wouldn't ... get more than about five hours of battery life on this and for an Ultrabook ... which typically they claim seven or eight hours of battery life that it is not great ... for some people that will be a deal breaker for Jake Lee because ... this is a thousand dollar computer ... which is nice ... late that battery tests that wall as is the stuff of legends ... in any of that when when we are in some consumer electronic show this year may sell lots of Ultrabooks people tech demo than anyone think ... all this and acts nine battery life I'd say is that the Standard testers that wants to speak and that different to the tothe to the hostages the harsh to you from the back will tax the CAC will was on test the wall to ... wall though that the price that that the price is down ... you know why would you go with this ... if it's assigned price as the MacBook ... well it's not gets gets ... a ... bit of the MacBook Air's juice toward nine Nenad Simon butthat's eleven twenty two screen ... this is a thirteen point three inch screen Emma comparable thirteen point three inch screen ... MacBook Air is three hundred dollars more ... so ... this is less expensive than Apple most of the windows Ultrabooks are ... less expensive than the MacBook Air it's not a shock that Apple sells ... premium priced ... computers ... I think the Windows side of the industry which has ... been kind of I'm in slow growth ... or even no growth mode ... is anxious to get these ultrabooks which are gets old ... to spur sales to get them down ... closer to ... seven hundred boxes they can put in its early round which began and a ... holiday season with just a handful of now is ... picking up steam they're all still clustered around a thousand dollar level was suddenly very good very quickly on the news that you're annoyed by the function keys on the top grow very quickly tells about that is the thing that simple ... okay so punching keys use to just be that one of two and ... your use them in various programs ... now on most of these computers ... as you know of Bayi they also have another function on many of the keys they ... control the brightness they control the volume they control but ... play pause if you're doing the video or music and the question is ... when you hit them what are they going to ... which of the two things that are going to do and Dell has chosen to stick with the old fashioned ... I guess ... function thing instead of the more ... I've ... consumer ease of greatness in buying controls and so forth ... if you want closure can hold down a separate ... she and Ben what I that the function key ... you can change it there's a setting we can change it that the question is what is it ... like out of the box and I talk to the DEL folks and they ... acknowledge that they had to make a call and they made this call but they ... say they are considering ... changing the out of the box behavior on those keys ... and maybe many ups and before ... anyone gets one ... thank you Brian much wall Moscow the big doubly him self Langham and tectonics in a nightclub ... on WS J dot com ... well ... what companies are two adults the middle of trying to find that according to the producing France SSL chili and when a lot more back ... after the break ... with back with more Digits aunt WS J live I'm Simon Constable Steve Manuel is ten and Jack for ... a billion dollars in ten LTE fourteen and was in the upright and sing a hymn on the site tells all about it well ... the amount of money like I just ... isn't it true that it's a lot of money to its enough that it's something that had to do ... yes ... there are three bigger rivals for in eighteen T and Verizon are all built into ... the needed doing it just just for competitors so ... for very and it's it's a price to pay them to ... keep pace ... with a timeline of case that the bossa ... was a little unclear but the concerts at the first couple years by the end of twenty thirteen all have a ... a worker for LTE network are it's not clear when the device so ... it's a little too loose but the at the Heinz ... went and they said well ... we're waiting for this is the victims and tea leaves as an effort ... to grow and so they were sitting in a sad day in ... and pass it on a ... we're hoping that the you know they're sort of of of us ... scorned lover ... they wanted to ... do what it used to take them out ... he waited and waited and it didn't have to raise four million dollars ... they just ... got around to the come from someone ... Qualcomm's from the comfort of their their parent companies which Telecom on ... and ... so they're getting into more needed to spend because otherwise it's just a drag on the ready Stratton profits back to Germany ... we gotta do something to remain competitive and ... may be enough to do some unhappiness with the quickly because this is a new leaf pattern outlined in this market that is so brutal but on the handset side and on the network site is just a single bound right now by and we day-to-day epitaph that I hung on write write ... yet and that was also wonder who she would ... not be at ... the potential to merge with the smaller carrier was an option ... what did it with his reputation friends that while he added that the house looking at maybe something like mature PCX or are in activities that with this player misses the whole quarter Specter ... Mr. we need to progress on the very houses that were built out its inspection start with reading this right you know we've we've seen that the records for environment isn't to QE three right now due to mergers ... it may make everybody sort of ... thing twice about ... pursuing pursuing a big merger deal ... in which he was more years ... don't ... use any team also hope that they said it was a hundred listed ... on the soul ... what does it did not last year ... that's what it did in two thousand ... and two thousand and eleven and two ... hundred and two thousand pounds into one of the bed in August nd two thousand but basically to listen to me ... it's it's almost a million and considering ... their competitors were working it's it's often the Guinea customers in large part because the I phone ... Sprint was losing costs there were that the user interface and got the I phone ... and guess what the reporter quarter with with gains in contract since May on T Mobile still doesn't have the I phone to be prompt with ... our ... and tied to the USA's because of technology ... he says that and I didn't maybe ... now they say they're they're changing their their network technology that will make the I phone compatible with it and maybe that will make it more attractive to Apple ... maybe customers would come over the ... air on other networks in and out ... like deals that Eva was ... aam ... the greatest thing to add campaign now that we stayed all of the city hair and on on the subway Senate severance package in the wrong see what the eye and its tenants did not ... it's a tune up ... maybe but not inside the T Mobile right I mean ... I might like it easier to get this consumer simply great great yet I think they never cease to go on a snowboard and it's also fun it is T Mobile is not able to still eat out having LTE four G networks were in the next year or possibly longer because they're building on the superstructure now at my question is whether or not then actually is really going to repent and be his friend it seems as though ... the whole idea of fourteen long-term evolution is still very murky to consumers anyway ... I mean they hear there's been bad jokes me about it the here and they say oh ... what is it mean exactly is the castle houses faster how does it work ... Shimon who actually made it through created from the first ones stayed at a four G network you want to talk to our own time ... when ... it wasn't for due some people thought it was sort of a three G plots and and ... they confuse the whole market shares reaching plus I love ... it ... I will will what's in store and I don't mind ... this new operate ... we have deleted that thank you Brian much Fred dancing have done it you must check out the story on WSJ ... don't call ... well guess what what comes out to adopt a no track ... that according to the Privacy Princess ISIL Julie and when she joins us now from the euro zone says that ... Jillian thanks for joining us ... at the bigger ... apart it's also the busy no time bomb ... this is something I could do it ... yes so what is happening is a bunch of Web companies have agreed ... to allow consumers to you click a single button ... on their web browser that would save do not track me ... amendment ... that would basically mean that the information that is usually collected about all the websites you visit ... we've still been put to better when the news for certain time ... activities like customizing advertising and they would promise not to give it to help companies insurance companies employ years etc ... some back tracking Ehritt says he's certain cases in which he introduced thusly not use ... the of the day was a huge battle for the past year the industry with resisting this do not act but ... because they didn't want to limit the ability to collect the information ... so ... if I want and the Federal Trade Commission which would propose that do not track button had been holding out saying look ... you have to not collect information about people when they but that didn't attack by ... now the FTC has agreed that look or think the first that ... which is that some informational the collective the only be used under certain conditions to base they then allowed some Alana collection but they've ... got to use restrictions better hoping ... they can make that allow the batter for people with the same time it's not going to war anything past that is like being on Social website sprained right so there's an election for Facebook Lite Goebel plus wine ... all the social network aam ... company better tracking you which is interesting because actually those guys weirdly have your name so when they know what what side you're on and you know who you are worth a lot of this other checking with actually pretty anonymous ... this is illegal Wang recessive on three things by these companies that may just decide to just say about you know we change the mind the minute we stop ... talking ... yet they could tainted by this is a voluntary agreement to basically the threat of regulation became not that the industry agreed to this that ... aam but ... at the same time is this announcement was made the White House actually today is having this Advent ... calling for Congress passed legislation ... which would pass a Privacy Bill of rights ... and so ... the threat of legislation basically is what caused the industry come together to adopt the standout track until you as you point out in your story are there some concerns about the fact that this with ... a ... median families came during the standardization ... of ... of all ... another type and do not track ... tool that can go into effect ... yet so basically there's also an international standards body called the BBC the world wide Web consortium that had been working on it cannot track standard ... and so the industry coming together to adopt certain meaning forget trap and SAP some people are phrased question of whether ... that would derail this international standards body ... aam from coming up with its own recommendations but ... that position of the industry and of of the White House is really that look ... we can't wait to get weak for this national standards body to film to be the delivery of for years on end ... aam ... the people the privacy now so here's a first step and then it goes as one of build on it ... and put in better protection flame outs by ... Syria um you know everything that I think there's enough ... about Privacy is the easiest enough for you I mean do you feel ... safe on the left and whenever I told you I feel I feel terribly negative surprise ... no actually this the very first bath but I think this is on ... the kind of thing that like to be really helpful for my mother and father were not that lets me I'm always going to be little more ... privacy paranoid ... as you know ... and so I'm still can probably use a lot of additional software to block other kinds of trekking to persuade don't like for instance that ... I'm seeing pictures of my Facebook friends on pages but I think that this feels to me like a Buy Lisa my plight with ... my friend B of this case ... I don't want my identity Attacks TP design Browning ... and giving back to ... the Lord the side creep you out too ... on the pitch is the front yes I think yes and I mean I think that on ... your view on social networks downward browsing the Web browsing and there she said the same point maybe they're different or not ... um I think that that too is saying about the idea that there's going to be this and that a one touch button that says do not track light on the web browser is incredibly helpful because right now you have to navigate to lots of different settings and preferences in in applies her and told him I cant that the average consumer really just kick the can be very easily confused by ... write to me when I got to stick to our own horn a little bit last week they had this big story about how ... Google was circumventing ... the privacy settings on Apple's Safari web browser ... so at least do not track would prevent the break so they wouldn't be as much of this have ... oops sorry we missed it was a technical Misek mistake where we were honoring your settings like everyone will be held accountable to the swine bought ... it's ... not something I do mostly get freaked out when I'm when home especially with the polite thing is that the deals like this and then is the ages of four people I know ... you see from the office ... I'm waiting for the Munster and all the fees apply ... as a separate the stock has ... made its rise was going to be said ... I've got one bottle and it's all my monologue doing I mean it's just it's it's ... it's it's so irritating for me aam I'm I'd I think the filth and went ... on to what next what was that we expect the home is known as the industry tries to be proactive ... while the singer in a sea is calm possible legislation right so ... that White House is ... calling for this for Congress passed the spread seeds of rights I think that ... you know this year election year maybe it won't get through but certainly they're putting some effort behind it ... and so you could see ... on a belt and it is interesting because that ability to provide even greater protections possibly because it would allow people to see and access the Dean of right now you can get a copy of the deer that Stuart about you have any of these companies ... not go well at UCF and make corrections if there were things in practice awfully deleted if you don't want ... to ... exciting exciting stuff ... this difference us that the fund is apparently prissy Princess ... Juliana went thank you Grandma Stocks was thinking of the strike price or effect on on the vs day don't come while the sad news sneak insights on how much people a new dot ... com and that ... going to tells all about it ... I think that means you like the speaker is healing fast ball sinker is the thing I jumped ... are well you know I feel lucky to be of a war ... on continued ... good to ... tell us to snow Basin achy back in two thousand six engine is ... making class dismissed the idea of the ... digitally connected actually ... add to BBB from the ripples will sensors that can put into a Nike shoe and then added earlier versions of the day with this and it's the I pod the ... eye and then there's that make the GPS I he was he just wants ... you can send data to ensure that did it with a stream of Sears and a lot to all that ... now what they've done ... is they've created a new I keep the center is a pressure sensor ... and are putting it in basketball shoes in training she is ... so on ... is a leader for pretty serious athlete to meet Isaac had last weekend can use the sensors enjoy these as well but this is for people that we really want to know ... you know about all of their movement movements when their fear of leaving the ground how high their job and ... add all sorts of other data ... that you have a ... mentor stock during the new smashing them to see these kinds of she this is right what what I really need this I know made me jump higher ... see what it means money like spring ... to that of that now to talk about now I cant that made me think it is amazing about high-tech at play here ... that freezes use a lot ... it's often used to describe this type of material that MITI has a certain ton of great ability or light weakness or you hear about this around ... the stripes right yes exactly at you about it that subpoena swimming suits and snowboarding out that the natural thing that this is the high-tech differ point is this high tech and when it actually tracking ... your digital data in the condition isn't about a month ago ... with the Nikkei came out with one of those rubber at the hands that you wear around your breasts instead warn all the time of slavery and ... a beautifully the trouble of were the type of bands that are out there ... the fund is in a production haven't ... I'm and I ... think it got so close to the deal ... to help people track their daily activities wasn't all that the attacking the dentist reading things and you can get this get back to the basketball puts what this would be so terrible for me to wear the because the technology because ... I would then know exactly how pathetic I was on the job front ... see I really don't see that as the only thing that is why we all know what to think of my dream job to regional the ground that I actually don't let that it yet ... but the truth is probably like to see this much and you know and and you know that no no and told the ... union and digital ... reading was the isthe the better for him the chain was more goals than to lay ... out what you were to the training ... ice ... disappearing running Aerie brand stairs perhaps are you looked away one to be convened in office to the running of the bounce that none of it for cross training and I think that that they sent an email that got from people and some treats people I think that some consumers are are excited about this company trying to I have not checked and they did not ... hit the market until June ... at the basketball sneakers are expensive they'll be the lead two hundred fifty dollars set to receive for their bath of speakers ... ALM ... so I think that we can have to see how how they work exactly and whether ... these days it was under it there on the center is being added to would take the ... branded Pankiw seekers it's already on them like the market called Hypercom okay um what separately responsive and on the run was actually not incredibly Sonsini on my nightgown transfer Hypercom sneakers and effeminate pretty reasonable for the small speakers but ... um I don't know actually how much these will actually stand out because the centers that are embedded in boats to sleep within the reason that some sometimes people get roped into shoes ... to fill right that's ... terrible thing and so that the wealthy to choose its moments ... Italy also cities PTI on the applicant and the I phone for somebody that word ... to the MA theses they would be rendered useless it was when I ... so what if you're eating nasi ... Youngman suppressant ... of waking up ... on you not think enough and I knew no sin of that in the shoes you all beastly ... um what what happens in the sense of right one and ... that's a really good question I'm sure that he has taken and to consider each ... of the deputy party trick but yes I know ... that I think so ... the lovely Lauren Goode ... one possible that's a ... that's our show that's it that's digits for
